I forgot to thank everyone for their comments. The pictures are a mixture of Greg's and mine, so i can't take credit for all of them.

Stay well,

It was nice to see in that rock art that tic-tac-toe hadn't been invented yet.

Wade, I had to drive to town today, giving me a chance to think along the way in Montana. My thoughts were about your post. It was really a good one. I hunt the desert, mostly in New Mexico, where quail were very scarce this year. Enjoyed your photography so much, especially the Indian pictographs, and your wirehaired drinking out of the "bowl". We sometimes find similar examples of Indian habitation, but not nearly the pictograph examples you show. Thanks
I see you have bootied up your dogs with innertubes. What desert plant are you avoiding ? In New Mexico, my wirehaired pointers don't need boots and just trample prickly pear. But then again, my wirehairs are not really the great desert quail dogs that Brits and pointers can be. Too much heat , sometimes.

But then again, my wirehairs are not really the great desert quail dogs that Brits and pointers can be. Too much heat , sometimes. Cholla cactus is one of the issues, but the boots are mainly used to keep the dogs from cutting their feet up on the sharp rock up in the mountain sides. There is easier terrain to hunt down on the flats but I find more quail higher up this late probably due to all the pressure along the roads and trails. When I hunt down in Scaled quail country I don't need the boots. That is mostly prickly pear and crucifix bush. Thanks again guys for the kind words. I enjoy hunting with a good sxs and taking photos. By sharing them like this it makes me take more photos. Franchi I will post a few more of Daisy tonight.

That is a beautiful gun! I think it's the one I almost bought from Bob a few years ago. (Whoops.....wrong gun.) Prolly should've but, at the time, it just wasn't right for me. I'm glad you put it to such good use and posted such a beautiful photo essay. Great work! Thanks.

Wburns, I should have guessed. There are areas in the Coronado with very abraisive rock , and some very sharp,broken, rock in the hills and mountains. All tough on dogs' feet, especially those with light skinned feet. Cholla usually is avoided by the dogs after the first encounter. Anyway, thanks for bringing us along on your trip.
